Wheels in Motion Tour

In an ever changing and evolving music industry, whilst the digital age has transformed so

many aspects of how artists operate, one thing that will never change is the desire to get

in the van and take the music out on the road: live, personal and in your face.

This coming September sees the start of ‘The Wheels In Motion Tour’, a three-band bill that

will support indie venues up and down the country, showcasing some of the UKs most

thrilling indie rock talent with The Jacques, The Sukis and Pistol Daisys.

Curated by indie live agency Motion Talent, all three bands are part of the emerging artists

on their roster, and the tour aims to boost grassroots touring through indie venues with a

fan friendly low-ticket price. Motion’s Neil O'Brien says:

“I am incredibly excited to see our first Wheels In Motion tour hit the road in September

with three of our homegrown emerging artists playing some of the UK’s best independentvenues. As an independent live agency booking tours and festivals worldwide Motion Talent

is committed to investing in artists by creating high quality touring and being involved at

the beginning with marketing, PR, transport, accommodation and technical support unlike

anyone else. I see it as our responsibility not only to represent established artists but also

to actively create tomorrow’s talent - Wheels In Motion is just that and hopefully will be

the first of many great tours in the future.”

First up, London via Bristol trio The Jacques have been carving their way up and down the

country and the EU with post punk legends Public Image Limited in recent times, and since

first forming as young teenagers, they’ve supported The Libertines at Hyde Park and played

Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds. Their story has been fraught with as many ups as downs,

but The Jacques have proved themselves to be true road warriors and survivors. Their genre-

smashing fusion of mutant punk, psychedelic grunge and joyous indie rock never fails to hit

the spot.

“Being on the road is the best,” state the band. “We spent most of last year on tour in

endless scrapes and adventures and it was while bouncing around the back of the van on a

cold night up north that we thought of getting our label mates to come and join us on a tour

like the old school ones. It’s going to be a blast!”

Also joining the tour are Liverpool’s The Sukis, who are fast making a name for themselves

as one of the most exciting alternative rock bands on the scene today. Punky, intelligent

and an explosive live act, their songs dive deep into the psyche of what it is to be young.

Lastly, Pistol Daisys are storming the alt-pop scene with a fierce energy that's quickly

earned them a devoted following, blending Glasgow’s vibrant grit with heartfelt

authenticity to create music that captivates fans across Scotland all the way to Europe.

Their live shows convey a whirlwind of raw emotion and authentic connection, thrilling

audiences and filling venues with a sound that blends confessional songwriting with dance-

oriented hooks, drawing comparisons to bands like Blondie and mixing pop, rock and

electronic elements.

‘The Wheels In Motion Tour’ showcases three unique bands that although different

musically, share a common goal to fire up their engines and hit the road, taking their music

to hot and sweaty venues, as it was intended to be heard and felt. All three bands will have

new music coming this year as they continue to grow and develop, pushing their sounds in

new and thrilling directions.
